Just used your video as a guide while installing my first brand new wood stove in my very first home as a homeowner. It’s a single wide mobile home as well and I can’t thank you enough for giving me the inspiration to believe I could do it all myself... Using only your video and one other like it as install references, and videos from northline express for the parts, and a few videos from other people all over the world on how to properly use it and all I need to know about wood... I just had a very successful, and safe first fire in it! I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for making this, (and all of your other videos I have watched now) and let you know how much of a positive impact you are having on more people than you even know. I thank you and a couple other people personally and would shake your hand if I ever had the opportunity to. I’m going to enjoy many cold snowy nights now in my warm home thanks in big part to people like you. Thank you from my family to yours! -Jason, Erin, Ryder🐶, and now our newest addition to our family come April of ‘21! - from Colorado 🏡 🏔 🔥 🙌🏽😁

Thank you Jason for saying that! I am really glad that this video was able to help you out. This was one of the hardest things for me to do. Thank you!

I like the fact that you don't pretend to be an expert, or a know it all. You work fast, and the install is excellent!

Be careful about inserting the stove pipe going upward, into the next section. That way, creosote leaks backward thru the joint, and drips into your home. Always install stove pipe inserting the top section into the lower section. That way the creosote will drip backward into the inside of the pipe, and be self-contained. I learned this the hard way!

Good job, I installed our wood stove in our mobile home last year. I'm sure glad I did because now we save a lot of $ on gas. Plus I like to cut firewood to. Stay warm!

Thank you for what you shared... And so glad that it's working better for you now. I had to learn all about a wood stove in my early adult life also. It's sure a wonderful way to heat a home .. so cozy and also nice to warm up next to, and have for cooking! Thank you, Jason and Lorraine... and it's great to see Penelope enjoying the wood heat and reading. Many blessings to you all!😊🔥📖💓

No heat on the records no heat in the back wall no heat at the front? how do you keep warm?????

That the funny thing, they say itll heat up to 1200 square feet but that is basically a wall less square box they test these things in. Now put it in the front living room of a 1000squar foot mobile home and the back bedroom freezes

Wood heat is the bomb! In our former home in the mountains of NC, not far from where you live, we had a 5' long huge woodstove for backup in our 3 story 3500 sq. ft. home, at our blueberry farm. On Christmas Eve 2000 it began to snow and eventually we became without power. Thank good news for our huge woodstove. We fired her up and cooked on and heated our home for 4 days till the power came back on. It was so cozy and warm to use the woodstove. I love wood heaters.😊🌲🌲🌲

It is incredibly ironic that I came across this video. I'm in the market to install one myself. When you said Black Mountain, I about crapped myself. I'm about 30 minutes from there lol. Thanks for the awesome video!

Been looking at these stoves very closely as a replacement to the "fireplace" that came in my mobile home. Thank you for the video.

When you put the flashing under the shingles you need to go up as many layers as possible never put silicone under the flashing that goes towards the endge of the roof. That can creat a dam if water does get under it cut your shingles to fit around pipe and use silicone under the shingles you lifted up and remove any loose nailes or staples that may have come loose. In your climate you dont worry about alot of snow but further north the ice will back up on tje roof and if everything isnt hunky dory it will get up under the shingles get warm and leak

I appreciate how thorough and well narrated your videos are.

Bro this winter storm in Texas is unbelievable so I'm going to install this or something like it soon in my mobile home. Thank you for the content

Dude move your Records, fast.

Enjoyable and informative! I had no idea they made specific stoves for mobile homes.

This is so smart. Dude, YOU are gonna save a ton of money. Love your set-up.

You gave an excellent demonstration Jason so even though I cannot have a wood stove due to living in a room in my daughters house no knowledge is always a good thing. Patty

Just picked up the same stove on clearance for my mobile home. I'am replacing the fireplace that was in it. This is a great video thank you.

Thank you for this video brother! Perfect timing. I want to put a wood stove in my Double wide so badly!

Great video. Takes away some of the mystery of proper wood stove installation.

Wood warms you at least twice. Thanks for sharing! God bless.

To whom it may concern: Check with your home insurance company before you do anything. Uninspected DIY stuff will likely void your policy.

Nothing like wood heat! You’re going to definitely want to move those albums! Enjoy your new stove! Stay safe!

Love the video!! How funny it was to watch all this & thinking man he did a fantastic job. Then you made it even better to hear Black Mtn Stove & Chimney! Small world. Born & raised in Blk Mtn. Awesome.

awesome!!

congrats for leaving California and building your own life on your own terms..I am right behind you...I'm deciding between this stove and the cubic mini grizzly as my place is under 400 sq feet..And my "normal " wood stove will be way too much for the little place even with sub zero temps from what I hear..

Thank you for your time! I think your idea to go straight up is the best and not out to the side and back up. Brackets on top smart! :-) You are lucky that you have a family that lets you do this, too! ;-) Best wishes on your health!

Great tutorial video. To get a longer wood burn, I suggest you install a damper in the exhaust flue out the top of the stove. This will slow the burn. Useful at night so you dont have to get up and feed the fire. The woodstove will develop a personality and from our family experience we named it "Smokey". After fire is out, closing the damper will prevent a downdraft of cold air dumping ash, smokey smells and a cold draft into the room. Having said that, enjoy. Your family has a new member!!!

manufacturers don't recommend a damper. Doesn't need it actually.

Great job, new news for me on a specific stove for trailers.

We installed ours using your video! Only problem was we built tile hearth (floor, back and sides) prior to checking to see where studs were. Pain in the butt! Had to cut THROUGH studs and build c braces. Check where your studs are FIRST before you do anything. Otherwise, your video took us through complete install! We had some issues with ordering parts and knowing what we needed but ordered Duravent double wall system from Northline Express. Their sales rep helped us with parts and adapters plus they have a KZread channel that has plenty of videos that describe piecing together the stovepipe pieces. Thank you for great instructional video that walked us through each step!

Amazing video brother. Had my brand new wood stove for a year now. Still afraid to install it in my mobile home but I think I feel confident after watching you do yours. Keep up the good work 👊🏽 hope mine turns out half as good as yours

Really nice result but the best thing for me is to see a young guy undertaking challenging and useful DIY tasks for his home. Great to see. Cheers for the video and good luck with the stove. I hope it gives you years of warmth

Nicely done! I have been using a wood stove for over thirty years,warm the bones kinda heat! Also have one in the garage! Good luck!!!

I think it's great that you guys are DIY and not afraid to tackle new jobs. I'm confused about the heat though, if it's not heating up the shelf or anything around it, how is it heating the house? From our past experiences wood stoves should really heat things up. My only critique, stop using drywall screws for everything! And keep an eye on that roof. Water leaks are a mobile home's worst enemy. All in all, good job and excellent learning experience. We look forward to installing one of our own someday.

I have the same wood stove. The sides really don't heat up much at all, when compared to the single wall pipe a foot above the stove itself. The same goes for the area behind the stove as he demonstrated. It really backs up the manual's indications of clearance to combustibles, which is as close as 10' with single wall stove pipe, and 8' if using double wall. Hard to believe until you actually experience it ( was about to waste a weekend installing a heat shield ).But the thing provides a surprisingly large amount of heat, compared to an old Efel Kamina I'm used to.

Very nice Jason, turned out beautiful! If you said it was difficult, it must have been, because working on those bus conversions you get around petty good with tools and all. Thanks for sharing and the honesty. ;)

Awesome job I think you are very resourceful. Love your plumbob.

Hi...... Jason and Lorraine nice to see you, you both are doing a good job . I never seen that wood stove it amazing, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🐔🐓🐥🌱🎥👍👍👍

Hi Natalie! thank you!

Looks great Jason, I would love to reinstall my VT Castings stove in my basement as a backup heat source.

Sounds like you worked it out, Finding one to work for your space, at least for now. Sometimes, trial & error are only way. Thanks

Very nice. We have a zero clearance fireplace that is absolutely useless to us. You can build a fire in it but it's essentially colder in the home because our heat goes up the chimney will burning. Maybe with your video I can convince my wife to make a change. We are also in a mobile home. I'm sure if you are in Western NC then you are enjoying your wood stove on a snowy day today!

Great install. Wood fires are the best.

Thanks for this video. I have a double wide and am looking to convert my fire place to either a wood stove or gas logs

Excellent job and video. You need a poker to move the coals and wood. I get free wood off Craigslist and Facebook and how noticing where utility companies trim under power lines. They leave wood. I have a rechargeable battery chainsaw that has been going strong for 3 years. But the chain needs sharpened -another skill. Splitting wood is a workout that is actually enjoyable. My grandpa 🧔🏼taught me how to split wood and use a couple of wedges if need be.

Nice job Jason!! I have been wanting a wood stove myself!

You are awesome for what you are doing for your family you are very smart. I hope I can do the same with my single wide

you did a fantastic job sir! just found your channel and i love it!

Thats awesome me and my girlfriend live in a single wide and wanted to put a wood stove. I heard you say black mountain i live in fairview if your in the asheville area, thanks again friend!

My FIL cleans his Ashbox once to twice a day. Pretty much when he loads wood in. He uses harder wood at night so the fire doesnt go out. He also had the fireplace tools that are iron to move everything around as it burns down.

That's amazing! Thanks for the upload.

love the plum bob!! Great job!!

Looks great. Are wood stove install was difficult too. Makes you really appreciate it when it’s done though. 😁

Looks great -- thanks for sharing the how to video.

You need to use high temp silicone on that flashing goes around the flue pipe to the flashing on the roof

Nice install, pretty much by the book with exception to the sheet rock screws holding the support box, don't sweat the silicone job, if that area on the shingles or class a chimney gets hot enough to affect the regular silicone then you have bigger issues to deal with. The Englander 17vl is a small but proven work horse, its a convective heater, meaning it will heat the air through those vent holes and then send the heated air into the room, the blower running on low will help a ton, plus you have radiant heat through the large glass. Wood moisture is the key with any new epa approved stove, buy a cheap moisture meter and test your splits, you want wood to be

Good for you, thats gonna be super cozy

So cool. You did good!

That is going to be a monster of a stove with that intake going to the outside and the fan lol

Great job! Thanks for the video

I would move the records just to be on the safe side. However, you made the project look easy for a DIY person. Thank you. God bless.

Funny, says after completing the job, he feels "no heat" in vicinity of stove!

Great video. I'm about to install a wood stove in my bus. Thanks for

Nicely done !

Very good video. You need a regular video post. I enjoy your method. Thank you very much.

Heck of a job, Dude ......You should be proud

You made that look easy!

Excellent job as always! Growing up with wood stoves I cringe every time I see how close you albums are to your stove. I would definitely consider moving them away from the stove and installing some protective material to the walls around it. Just a thought, purely out of concern for you all. Are you enjoying the fruits of your labor? Blessings...

The best cleaner for the window on your wood stove is wood ash and newspapers dampened with water. That takes off all the burnt on deposits from the fires. A little trick we learned from Vermont Castings, a wood stove company.

yes, we figured that out! thanks!

For anyone looking to do this, check out Ventis Chimney for the best pipe. It’s made in PA and they do Butt welded seams vs the overlapping seams the supervent and duravent stuff.

Great video. Was considering doing this in our off grid cabin but honestly after seeing it I think I'd rather spend $1500 in more solar and batteries to run an electric one. I think you did an awesome job but I'm more comfortable with electricity than live fires (especially for renters). Thanks for the insight!

Good job nice thanks for the heads up

Outstanding! Thanks for posting.

awesome work thank you. be safe and god bless your family..

THANKS FOR SHARING / IT WAS LOTS OF HELP

Nice job and thanks for the info!

Great video!

Looks great

Really good! Thank you very much!

Looks good, nice work.

Im also trying to install my wood stove similar too yours in a 14 by 60 mobile home tin roof...I gotta go buy glasses so I can read the directions ..Thank you.. P.S ..I love your life

Well done!

Perfect

good job

Great video try using urethane for the flashing and shingles it'll save you time and money if the silicone doesn't hold or breaks down over time. I've used it for years with no trouble at all. Some times silicone will break down in cold and damp weather.

Awesome Video!

Great job!

Thanks for this

Looks good family

I was so hoping this was being done in a metal on metal singlewide with no OSB on the roof but only rolled metal roof.Wanting to do this but definetly will have to make a framework between 24inch on center and how leaks and roof rumble wont cause leaks.

Good job.

Thanks man! You have been very helpful. ;)

This was so awesome, going to look up home depot for this, scared me some when you said it was really difficult, but you made it look easy! 😢
